"Looks like George Washington,"
Princess Sparkles said as she looked at a picture she drew.
Camouflage and I turned to each other, impressed with Sparkles.
Must be preschool... or TV.
Then Camo asked, "Do you know who George Washington is?"
Then Sparkles replied, "He's on the money."

I'm participating in "Fashion Challenge: Layers" from Megan Mae Daily and Casual Chic Kiki. Thursday's challenge is vest over jacket. It took me a few tries but I finally found a look I liked...a military jacket and fur vest (I also did "layered nails" for extra credit!). The black dress is "thrifted" from another mom's garage and I went with the brown Lucky boots (which I got on sale for $40 at Macy's) because Princess Sparkles told me to!

| George Washington, "the money guy" |
I have to say I get a serious thrill out of getting a good deal...thrifting, clearance racks, coupons, buying from another mom's garage! Even if we were super rich I'd still shop at the same places. Hopefully Sparkles and Pigtails will feel the same way and have an appreciation for "the guy on the money!"

he's on the money? That's so hilarious! Your kids say the darndest things. Fur vest...I Iike, I don't have a chance to wear it but I like watching all of you dressed in all these fur glory. What a great idea to layer it over a military jacket. Definitely up the chicness of that jacket.
